Explore and experiment with various fiber-art techniques by transforming two-dimensional fabric drawings and paintings into three-dimensional, soft sculptures inspired by nature, abstraction, and whatever inspires. Based on simple and accessible techniques, create your own hand-painted textiles then turn them into three-dimensional works of art. This is an experimental approach to soft sculpture where students are free to explore, play, and try new techniques all while being introduced to the basics of fabric painting, drawing, and sewing.
Please reach out with any accessibility concerns, the workshop can be augmented for anyone!
